The library management for the SimpleTouch is clunky and horrendous to say the least, and it takes a lot of work to create shelves, and you are constantly having to check and recheck to make sure that you have the books where you want them. It would be great to be able to turn Tags and/or Series into Shelves for the Nook Simple Touch, similar to what the Kindle Collections plugin.

Reason: fix grammar to make more clear

An image that small and that aspect ratio incorrect will look awful. Sometimes it takes a while to find the best possible cover I can using Google images and even then I sometimes have to make do instead of getting a cover image I like.

This plugin is a really bad idea unless you can give it a URL and it will go fetch the image and put it in as the cover. Then I'd agree it can be useful. But otherwise, bah!

Hi, I'm Markus and new here. I love to read English books on the PC. As I'm German though, I have to look up words, esp. on older texts, in a dictionary all the time. LEO.ORG is a very good one, it's free and has an API. So, just wondering if, in the reader app, it would be possible to add a right mouse klick feature - "look up in dictionary", in settings add a "dictionary URL" field and on marking a word and right klicking it open up a new window with the dictionary in it? Or you could add the dictionaries to the dict.org field? Shouldn't be that difficult. I do code, mainly web stuff, but haven't got a clue how to get started here. Greets from Stuttgart, Germany. PS. LEO.ORG can do Italian, Spanish, Chinese and Russian -> German too.

Just wondering about the possibility of offering the ranking as integers OR stars. The star display takes a fair amount of column space while a single number would take less. (I'm trying to keep the view to just screen width, so no need for scrolling.) Also maybe allow ratings to expand it to show 0 (lowest) to 9 (top) ranked instead of 1-5 stars? I know I probably could make a custom column to show this. Thanks in advance for considering this.

I posted a "request" in the Conversion thread Save Conversion Settings, at the time I was thinking it would have to be implemented in Calibre core.

But The Ducks has made a suggestion that makes me wonder if my request could be implemented as a plug-in, if it were implemented via Borrow and Apply as per The Ducks suggestion - see post #4 and my response in #6.
